Abstract

The rapid advancement in industrial automation necessitates the development of effective learning tools to equip students and professionals with the required skills. This paper presents the design and implementation of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) trainer aimed at enhancing industrial automation education. The PLC trainer is developed to provide hands-on experience, simulating real-world industrial scenarios. It incorporates various input and output devices, sensors, and actuators, allowing users to program and control different automation processes. The trainer is designed with a user-friendly interface and comprehensive instructional materials to facilitate learning. The study evaluates the effectiveness of the PLC trainer through a series of tests and user feedback. Results indicate significant improvements in understanding PLC concepts and practical application skills among the participants. This PLC trainer serves as a valuable educational tool, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation in industrial automation. Future developments will focus on integrating advanced features such as remote access and enhanced simulation capabilities to further enrich the learning experience.
